Yeah, that's the one. The one that makes a modicum of sense

Either A) New Years Day is a day of the week and your birthday changes every year (but in a vastly more predictable way; NYD will make next year's dates one weekday ahead), or B) New Years Day is a completely separate day and all years are identical, and you choose your birthday to be celebrated on the closest agreeable weekend if that matters to you

There is a pretty fucking solid one:

13 months exactly 4 weeks long. 364 days. Two unique days: New Years Day and Leap Day. Just put them together.

Now every month is the same length. Every numbered day is the same day of the week in every month for the whole year.

What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?

To be fair, Rogers didn't die. It monopolized data communication with insufficient regulation. It had an inevitable outage that could have been bypassed if not for the reasons listed.

Rogers continues to make stacks while the public foots the bill.

What Disney fails to understand is that Star Wars fits so many genres. It doesn't need to be space opera. That's what the trilogy was, but that's not the whole universe.

People really liked the western. People really liked the spy thriller.

I think people would really like the buddy cop movie. I think people would really like the samurai movie. I think people would really like the creature horror movie.

And he's also going to tell Trump to fly a kite. They can go together and make a day of it. They'll laugh and bond and throw rocks at minorities. It'll be a grand occasion!

We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released Skyrim once again over the last 10 years, it just doesnt have the same traction. It's just that these audiences are only interested in a game for 6 months max.

That's not it at all. Literally, my children told me, "I don't want to go up, I just want to go to the houses with bowls". But it's not a lazy thing, it's a social anxiety thing. We don't chat with strangers, we don't make small talk with people we don't know, we don't ask people things we can find out without asking people things. We're socially awkward parents and we have socially awkward children.

Millennials, the ones who would much rather text than call on the phone their dearest friends and closest relatives, are 35-40 years old. They're the ones with halloweening children and those kids are just ask averse to face to face interactions with neighborhood residents as we are.

Seems excessive. Loads of people have spent many many years in as little as 18 Sq. Ft. Why can't people just be happy with that?
